[PROBLEM] Tics when playing high-resolution PCM files

[DRONE7]

I used to connect USB HD to router ad use it as a network source,
but latest versions of moode does not support share SMBv1 anymore,
so I should buy a NAS, but for less money I prefer to buy a Raspberry 4
when it will be available again

Ouch!...you're using a router so old that it does not support current Samba versions ?  
What router and surely there is either an update firmware or cheaper...and more secure !.. to buy a new router than a Pi4 ?
